"Still Standing" is a stunning and powerful photograph that captures the essence of a forgotten era. The clarity and detail of this photograph allows you to feel the emotions of the past, while also being captivated by the beauty of the ruined facade. This photograph is a reminder of the history that lies within our world and of the beauty that can still be found even in the decay.
Romania's capital city, Bucharest, displays an elegant past that, after 40 years of communism and corruption, is now reaching levels of decay that may defy renovation.  Over the past ten years, I have tried to create a parallel between the image of Princess Brianna Caradja, whose aristocratic family was driven out of Romania by politics, and of the capital city that is crumbling both physically and socially.  With my journalistic background, I attempt to mirror the forgotten, ignored grandeur of both the physical and social institutions of my homeland.
